BTS x Coldplay 'My Universe': Release date, music video and all about Coldtan collab

Fans were pleasantly surprised after BTS and Coldplay announced that they would be getting an official music video for the collab song 'My Universe'

The Coldtan collab is almost here! Fans all over the world were shocked when someone supposedly leaked an audio clip claiming it was from BTS and Coldplay’s collaborative song. It didn’t help when a leading lyrics website added BTS’ name to Coldplay’s upcoming album. It has been almost two years since the legendary British band dropped their last hit album ‘Everyday Life’. And for their latest album ‘Music of the Spheres’ they have indeed roped in the global K-pop group BTS for ‘My Universe’ which will also have a music video.

We got several wholesome interactions between the two before the confirmation like BTS being interviewed by Chris Martin that did nothing to quench the rumors. And a few weeks ago the labels involved ended up confirming that BTS would be featuring in the pre-released single ‘My Universe’ for Coldplay’s album. The two acts even ended up meeting on September 21 and 22 as BTS was in NYC for the 26th UN General Assembly. So, let’s find out everything about the Coldtan collab.
